Comfort during side posture lumbopelvic manipulation in a low back pain population—effects of a typical versus modified flexed lumbopelvic position: a crossover randomized control trial
Comparing comfort during a Modified flexed SPLM to the Standard one revealed no difference for a population with LBP. However, some individuals did demonstrate a comfort preference for a Standard versus a Modified flexed position. Future studies should examine other variations of manipulation and particular subgroups of individuals with LBP (e.g. direction related) that experience discomfort during manipulation.
